Rotor of an electric machine, and electric machine

Abstract

A rotor of an electric machine includes a rotor lamination stack connected to a rotor shaft for conjoint rotation therewith. The rotor lamination stack extends from a first axial face of the rotor lamination stack to a second axial face when viewed in the direction of an axis of rotation of the rotor lamination stack. The rotor lamination stack has bores distributed around the axis of rotation and extending from the first axial face to the second axial face when viewed in the direction of the axis of rotation. A tie rod which protrudes from the axial faces when viewed in the direction of the axis of rotation is inserted into each bore. Fastening elements are attached to the tied rods at both axial faces so that the rotor laminations of the rotor lamination stack are pressed together. The tie rods are cast in the bores by a casting material.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A rotor of an electric machine, said rotor comprising:
 a rotor shaft; 
 a rotor laminated core connected in fixed rotative engagement with the rotor shaft and having first and second axial end faces when viewed in a direction of an axis of rotation of the rotor laminated core, said rotor laminated core having recesses distributed around the axis of rotation and extending from the first axial end face to the second axial end face when viewed in the direction of the axis of rotation; 
 tie rods sized to project beyond the first and second axial end faces when viewed in the direction of the axis of rotation and introduced into the recesses in one-to-one correspondence; 
 a potting compound potting the tie rods in the recesses; and 
 fastening elements positioned on the tie rods at the first and second axial end faces so that rotor sheets of the rotor laminated core are pressed against one another. 
 
     
     
       2. The rotor of  claim 1 , wherein each rotor sheet has a yoke on a side facing away from the axis of rotation and a sheet hub on a side facing toward the axis of rotation, the yoke and the sheet hub of each rotor sheet being connected to one another via sheet spokes of the rotor sheet. 
     
     
       3. The rotor of  claim 1 , further comprising a fan positioned upon the tie rods on the first axial end face of the rotor laminated core. 
     
     
       4. The rotor of  claim 3 , wherein the fastening elements are arranged on the first axial end face of the rotor laminated core between the first end face and the fan. 
     
     
       5. The rotor of  claim 3 , wherein the fan has an annular disk running orthogonally to the axis of rotation and fan blades protruding from the annular disk. 
     
     
       6. The rotor of  claim 5 , wherein the annular disk has an outer ring on a side facing away from the axis of rotation and a disk hub on a side facing toward the axis of rotation, with the fan blades being arranged on the outer ring, the outer ring and the disk hub being connected to one another via disk spokes. 
     
     
       7. The rotor of  claim 6 , wherein the disk hub is connected to the rotor shaft in the absence of a fixed rotative engagement. 
     
     
       8. The rotor of  claim 5 , wherein the fan blades are embodied as sheet parts and are mounted onto the annular disk. 
     
     
       9. The rotor of  claim 5 , wherein the fan blades are mounted onto the annular disk from a radial interior to a radial exterior. 
     
     
       10. The rotor of  claim 5 , wherein the fan blades are welded to the annular disk. 
     
     
       11. The rotor of  claim 5 , wherein the fan blades have axially inner sections which are arranged between the annular disk and the first axial end face and rest against the first axial end face under compressive stress. 
     
     
       12. The rotor of  claim 3 , further comprising at least one balancing weight positioned upon at least one of the tie rods on the first axial end face, said fan being arranged between the first axial end face and the balancing weight. 
     
     
       13. The rotor of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one balancing weight positioned upon at least one of the tie rods. 
     
     
       14. An electric machine, comprising:
 a stator; 
 bearings; and 
 a rotor interacting with the stator and being mounted in the bearings so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation of the rotor, said rotor including a rotor shaft, a rotor laminated core connected in fixed rotative engagement with the rotor shaft and having first and second axial end faces when viewed in a direction of the axis of rotation of the rotor laminated core, said rotor laminated core having recesses distributed around the axis of rotation and extending from the first axial end face to the second axial end face when viewed in the direction of the axis of rotation, tie rods sized to project beyond the first and second axial end faces when viewed in the direction of the axis of rotation and introduced into the recesses in one-to-one correspondence, a potting compound potting the tie rods in the recesses, and fastening elements positioned on the tie rods at the first and second axial end faces so that rotor sheets of the rotor laminated core are pressed against one another. 
 
     
     
       15. The electric machine of  claim 14 , constructed in the form of a traction motor of a vehicle.
